Since it's a slow day in the world of MMA, I thought it would be cool to talk about Tapology and ourselves.. anything at all regarding the same. I'll get a brief start going..
I live in PA, am 30 and have been a fan of MMA since I was a teenager. Work for the railroad and rarely ever miss an event regardless of promotion/stature. I like Tapology b/c of the environment it fosters. I wish we could edit/delete our posts... maybe have categories of threads for the forums, but all in all, I appreciate the type of place this is thus far.

I watched bits of a Louis CK and Kevin Hart stand ups on Netfix, but I got bored as it's more of the same. Sex, ****sexuality, babies, etc. and cursing every 20 second to get cheap laughs from drunken fans in the crowd.
Tom Green's comedy is totally different and it's refreshing which makes it some quality comedy.
Good stuff, thank @MikeLovesTacos XD.

Too bad most UK/Irish stand ups usually don't get any opportunities in the States. I guess the humor is too different in most cases.

Alot of the mainstream stand-up guys are not great. Lous C.K .. sorry, but to me he just isn't funny. Alot of the British comics are insanely clever and absolutely hilarious.

Jimmy Carr: Up there with Hedberg as far as one liners are concerned.
Frankie Boyle: Incredibly dark and offensive but the material is solid.
Michael McIntyre: Very much a love him or hate him stand up. Clever observations on pretty everyday stuff. I guess he's a camp British Gaffigan of sorts..
Kevin Bridges: Only 26 and already one of the best in the country.
Dara O Briain: A fellow Irishman who has a degree in theoretical physics so you can only imagine how clever and original his material is. Great observationalist.
Greg Davies: One of my personal favorites. Some of the best material out there.
Lastly, Jon Richardson: The guy legitimately has some pretty excessive OCD which makes his material incredibly odd but ridiculously original and hilarious.
There, done!

I prefer sitcoms and panel shows.
I've mostly seen the British comedians in sitcoms and panel shows.
Would I Lie to You? is my favorite British panel show with Lee Mack, David Mitchell and Rob Brydon as host who I much prefer to Angus Deayton.
Every single comedian you've mentioned I've seen on panel shows.
Jimmy Carr annoys me. His laugh is loud and annoying. I can't stand him on panel shows. I also dislike 9 Out of 10 Cats.
I think Boyle is alright in the panel shows he's been on.
Kevin Bridges has been hilarious when he's been on panel shows. There's this bit on Would I Lie to You? that had me in tears:
Can't remember much from Michael McIntyre.
Not a fan of Dara O'Briain.
Greg Davies is cool.
I feel about Jon Richardson the same way how I feel about Jimmy Carr.
David Mitchell I don't think has ever done stand up, but I really get a dig out of him on Would I Lie to You? and Peep Show.
Lee Mack I enjoy from Would I Lie to You?, Not Going Out and I've seen both of his stand ups and I dug them.
Rob Brydon I like as the host from Would I Lie to you?.
I have strange taste in comedy, but British comedians I dig are Miranda Hart, Richard Ayoade, Mark Heap, Chris O'Dowd, Jack Whitehall, Steve Coogan, Tim Vine, Michelle Gomez, Sarah Alexander, Stephen Mangan, etc. but I've mostly dug them from sitcoms and panel shows.
I do like the classic British sitcoms, Fawlty Towers, Blackadder, Only Fools and Horses, etc.

Also back on the Tom Green Live stand up, it was awesome. Loved the ending bit about his testicular cancer and how prayed to God and how being a survival of testicular cancer had changed his perspective on life and how he's all positive now.
Good stuff.
